Sorry...I like them. I like their spirit and their kindness to everyone they meet and their obvious enjoyment of every single day.

I did not take their comments at the Spirit Houses amiss, although I liked how Jennifer replied much better. But to my ear, it was a choppy heavily edited sound bite, and we know that can change almost anything around. I think that HOW they have raced and the respect they have shown each other and every single person they have met along the way says far more than that one sound bite.

Well said peach <3 I love the teams that enjoy the world and the people but also have a drive to win and do well on the tasks. Sort of a combo of the cowboys and the Chos Andy and Tommy have a similar attitude to Gary and Mallory which I love. It still seems like production was trying to stir up a controversy about them in that episode. The way they threw in those unusual scenes was almost like they knew people wouldn't like it. Heavily editing some quotes to make a story is unseemly imo.

People shouldn't expect them to just give a win away to Ernie and Cindy just because they wanted them to. What if that footrace had been a footrace for elimination? Or a million dollars? Uh uh. If Ernie and Cindy wanted to win the leg, they shouldn't have stood around so long wasting time after using their Express Pass.

The snowboarders may be eliminated next leg because of this, so I'm prepared for that. But I think people that hate this team are missing out on a lot. Don't hate them just because they're an all male team who dominates or just because their religious affiliation may offend you. They are good at tasks, friendly to everyone, and don't fight with each other or other teams. They practice what they preach. IMO, there's no real reason to hate them.

I couldn't agree more Prophet. I think they're genuine, likeable, courteous, respectful and fun. I agree that they've probably been given a favourable edit but to be even considered for a good edit, you have to be good people to start with. I definitely think they'll become the new cowboys in terms of fan popularity, but that's not going to make me feel guilty about rooting for them!

Definitely, I've NEVER liked any M/M team (well, I liked Derek & Drew since I started watching TAR 3 when the episode 9 was broadcast in my country, not much to choose from).

This team is definitely, not only the best M/M team (IMHO) ever in the race, but one of the best teams overall. They're doing what should be done in this TV programme. I recall it is called The Amazing RACE, and, even though they enjoy each of the tasks they do (andthey rock them too), they always keep on racing with a positive message: "Treating other people the best you can will give you the best result", they never have any harsh words to anybody (they even crashed in Leg 05 with the School thing) but didn't give up nor say bad things to the teacher. They're respectful, they're competitive, they're kind... they're racers, and above all, they're excellent people.

In case I'd race against them, I'd really be awestruck, and I really think that U-Turning them would not be successful.

I don't get the M/M hatred. When I like a team, it's irrespective of their gender. I like these guys, just as I liked Mel/Mike, Nat/Kat, Tyler/James, Lauren/Duke, BQs, BJ/Tyler, Eric/Jeremy, Don/Nick, Ron/Christina, TK/Rachel, the Chas, Ken/Gerrard,...you get the idea. These guys seemed fun & friendly to locals, plus i hate infighting (although given the stressful situations, it's inevitable).

What I meant is that I don't really get an instant love for any M/M team. I think that teams with a girl on it are more lovely, IDK why, but I never liked M/M teams, and this one's the best,
